  1. HEAT RELEASE RATE Updates2014 June Materials MeetingSwitzerland Materials Working Group Michael Burns, FAA Tech Center June, 2014

  2. AGENDA • OSU • Orifice Meter Discussion (Static Pressure Taps) • Chapter HR Update (hr2) • Combined Supplement with Test method

  3. OSU: • Protruding pressure taps (beyond the pipe inner wall) vs. surface pressure taps (flush with inner wall) may have a influence on pressure readings • Could have an influence on total airflow

  4. HR2: HEAT RELEASE TEST METHOD Supplemental material moved to Test Method as follows: • Added BTU/ft2*sec units • Environmental Chamber – Added Radiation Door Assembly Figure • Radiation Source • Power Supply Capacity – 12 kVA is sufficient • Diamond-Shaped Mask Mounting – ½ inch diameter machine screw (approximately 4 inches in length) • Mask Position – Approximately 3 inches from the reflector plate • Mask shaft-head or nut only on side facing specimen (no threads extending towards specimen)

  5. HR2: HEAT RELEASE TEST METHOD • Thermopile Wiring • Color coding differences - Chromel yellow/green; Alumel red/white • Upper Pilot Burner • Caution Statement – Do not disturb burner position once set • Flame Profile – To increase orange tip, reduce air from the mixture • Drill hole sizes added for: • Upper Pilot Burner (#59 Drill) • Air Distribution Plate (# 4 Drill) • Second Stage Plate (# 28 Drill) • Drip Pan - Foil can be used to line the drip pan to facilitate cleaning after use

  6. HR2: HEAT RELEASE TEST METHOD • Heat Flux Gauge (HFG) • Cooling Water Tubing – Rigid due to the high temperatures • Cleaning – Gently wipe with soft, water-dampened sponge • Caution Statement – Damage done to the coating during the cleaning process will affect the measurement accuracy of the sensor • Specimen Preparation • Added recommended specimen foil wrapping technique • Foil trimming – no scoring or incisions permitted • Spring Plate Pressure – Recommended applying equal pressure to specimens of equal thickness by inserting the specimen retaining rod in the same holes for each specimen tested

  7. HR2: HEAT RELEASE TEST METHOD • Heat Flux Calibration Procedure (Corner) • Caution Statement – Do not disturb burner position when rotating calibration fixture 90 degrees • Added options for improving 4-corner uniformity: • Adjust power settings • Reposition globars - Hottest to coolest (bottom to top) • Move mask – Closer to or further from HFG • Move globars – Adjustment left or right • Reflector plate – Adjust slope (top and bottom) • Added Rounding, Accuracy and Units section

  8. HR2: HEAT RELEASE TEST METHOD • Calculation of Calibration Factor Kh – Added example assuming 60 mV baseline; 7 mV rise for each change in flow

  9. HR2: HEAT RELEASE TEST METHOD • Test Preparation • Thermopile – Baseline mV observed daily as an indicator of developing problems • Variations in heat flux (heat flux gauge malfunction) • Defects in thermopile • Air leakage – Environmental chamber/lower plenum, exhaust stack or holding chamber door seal • Test Performance • The use of an externally positioned mirror may assist in viewing upper pilot flames during testing

  10. HR2: HEAT RELEASE TEST METHOD • Heat Release Rate – Added example for calculating HRR (Peak HRR)

  11. HR2: HEAT RELEASE TEST METHOD • Total Heat Release – Added example for calculating Total HR (2-Min. THR)

  12. HR2: HEAT RELEASE TEST METHOD • Test Report • Laboratory • Fully identify the material tested • Graphically report the heat release rate (kW/m2) as a function of time (in seconds) for each test • Maximum heat release rate and time (in seconds) it occurs during each test • Total heat released during the first 2 minutes of each test • Radiant heat flux to the specimen

  13. HR2: HEAT RELEASE TEST METHOD • Test Report (Continued) • Calibration factor Kh (kW/mV ) • Average mV baseline for each specimen tested • Melting, sagging, delaminating, or other behavior that affected the exposed surface area or mode of burning that occurred and the time(s) at which such behavior occurred • Total number of materials tested • Total number of materials passed

  14. HR2: HEAT RELEASE TEST METHOD • Requirements • Quantity of Samples – Minimum of three samples must be tested and 80% or greater must pass

  15. QUESTIONS? What is full of holes, but can still hold a lot of water? Answer: Sponge
